The older SPARCs (and perhaps some of the Ultras?) use a Zilog chip for all the sbus-based ultrasparcs have zilog serial chips. i, fwiw, i've had success with sparc serial ports at 38400 for most of the past 4 or 5 years (i've been using them pretty much ever since netbsd/sparc first appeared, but the driver was more lame back then).
